Where are you sitting Vs. Cats?

[The Big Dog]

Got mine online. Very swift.

N13 - Row H.

Good seats!

[Ozza]

In front of the long room in the MCC members - gonna get there super early and really soak it up! Can't wait! Unfortunately hughy31 is a shattered man with teh game scheduled for a saturday arvo meaning he has to miss it. Really thought we'd be a Saturday evening game.

Is that level one?

Not too sure where that is. I think I might be on level 2 though.

EDIT: Just checked the MCG seating plan & I'm almost right behind the Punt Rd goals on the bottom level. They call that prime???

[Desipura]

Is that level one?

N13 is level 2 almost in line with the 50m in the Southern Stand

[LostDoggy]

N12, Row A here.

Any woofers near me?!

Had a few tries at getting L1 seats but couldn't get it.

Think I'm in the row behind you.
They have a very loose definition of a good seat in the finals. You'll notice that the number of standard seats is pretty pretty low while the prime and premium take up most of the ground.

[LostDoggy]

So because I'm in N12 I think that's the GSS. I'd rather have gotten like N49 or something and been able to sit in the Olympic Stand, so much better than the GSS.

Quick question. So the sections where we all have our tickets, will they be WB members only? So we will have no Cats supporters near us?

[LostDoggy]

I wouldn't say so.

Yeah it's a joke isn't it.

I logged on and went for standard, take a look at the purple standard sections at the ground, you get 1 bay on the side of the goals, and the back few rows of lvl 3 on the southern.

Prime just get you the bay right behind the goals.

So i have mananged to get some guest passes for mcc.

It's all designed to make you pay more money.

[Desipura]

Thats one of the benefits of being an AFL member, we generally get good seats on level 1 on the wing as well as guaranteed a GF ticket if our team makes it.

This is probably a stupid question but i assume it starts at row A at the fence,
goes through to Z, then starts again at AA? so row CC would be a fair way back

M10 Row V.

They don't look like bad seats. A bit before the 50m arch and apparently slightly under cover.

According to a few people I've spoken to, they said that Level 2 seats were not on sale today. Several people wanted them and all they were told is that Level 1 & 3 were open.

I find that pretty odd.

Line up at a ticketmaster outlet from 8am :D

[The Big Dog]

Just read on the AFL website that the Dogs Vs. Cats game has been the fastest ticket selling game thus far with ~25,000 tickets remaining.

I hope that means the Footscray supporters have faith again. Our turnout to the finals matches last year was pretty poor, which was probably as a result of limping to the line. This year though, we are full of momentum, so hopefully we get good support. I mean this is what you support a side for... Finals action.

Yeah, the guy at the Ticketek outlet in Lygon St helped me out. He said they'd sold 400 tickets in 3 hours yesterday morning - absolutely flat out with mainly Bulldog supporters.

[Mantis]

I was just playing around on the Ticketek website and in looking for some tickets I had the option of buying tickets in 2 different areas on Level 2A in the Southern Stand.

It's a disgrace that people who brought tickets yesterday morning got stuck behind the goals whereas there are still excellent tickets available today.

I guess the AFL (rightly or wrongly) look after those that fork out some $430.00 on an AFL membership.

Going by the rain we are having I might get the canoe out... otherwise it will be via the connex express. Getting home might be a different story, of course depending on how many celebratory drinks I require... I'm not even contemplating drinking away my sorrows as yet.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

I live in the Geelong region so the train will be absolutely packed, but so too will the highway. Not sure yet. If it rains I suspect we may drive and park in the city somewhere but if it's an OK day the train is probably the best option. It'll be a nightmare otherwise.

Talking about canoes, this weekend, the Victorian Kayak Marathon Champioships are on in Geelong. My daugher is competing in the under 16 doubles tomorrow and singles Sunday.

Twas' a good spread of Dogs fans yesterday; pity bout the performance though and that we had little to cheer about. It was a much better turnout than we had at any of the finals last year.

I hope they all get back on the wagon and attend Friday night.

N55 also -row M

Not sure how many of you have been in the new Olympic Stand, but I loved my seats there - the bar on level 2 is top shelf...of course you're going to take your seat, but if it got really ugly at any stage I was going to watch the rest of it in the bar, has a great view of the ground.

Also noticed a red head fella wearing a light blue beard t-shirt in the row in front of me (so row E I would imagine in N55) Was going to say g'day but I was too chicken.

[Max469]

I like the Olympic stand, sat there last year as well.

I was at the back of N55, right in front of the Jim Stynes room.

Went with a long time Doggies member who had never been to a final.

She had the time of her life regardless of the score.

Us 2 girls together were louder than all the blokes around us.:rolleyes:

[LostDoggy]

Hope no-one had the same experience as we did at the game. We sit in disabled seats, so they are right at the back (M21) and obviously the standing room fence is right behind us. We had 4 Geelong jerks in the standing room area, drinking themselves stupid, and abusing us, and the guy in the wheelchair beside us, swearing and carrying on. They were also throwing their empty plastic cups over the fence at us - very intelligent:rolleyes: In the 2nd quarter, we texted the "anti social behaviour" text number, and the security guys and police were there in a matter of minutes. The Geelong guys were quiet after being spoken to by the cops, but the cops left at the start of the last quarter, so again the abuse started. After the game it was no better, but we just ignored them! Really spoilt my day, apart from my beloved dogs being beaten. I guess all teams have these kind of supporters, but they sure do put a downer on the day. I did ask them politely to stop swearing in the first quarter, but it seems to these kind, that kind of request is just laughed at. I don't have a problem with people being passionate about their footy side, I just don't like foul language every second word. And obviously, the more beer they drank, the louder they became. :mad:

Wow, that's bad... I'm in a chair, and so those seats are my only option... never had too many problems, but sounds like you had good reason to complain!... I remember last years final vs Hawthorn, there was a huge punch up in the standing area right behind me... two dogs supporters belted the intestines out of this loudmouth Hawk fan..

[gohardorgohome]

Good to see the prompt response by the report an idiot text line...


I was the second row behind the point post in M4 at the Punt Road end...my eight year old son and his mate loved being five metres from the players during the warm up.

I'm sure Brian Lake heard me at on stage when I yelled out to him that Ottens had snuck 20 metres behind him...

Great spot to watch the footy!!!!

[boydogs]

I'm sure Brian Lake heard me at on stage when I yelled out to him that Ottens had snuck 20 metres behind him...

I reckon Johnno heard me one day telling him to have a shot when he was facing away from goal in the pocket. Unfortunately he missed :(. Wonder if they have ever thought of putting staffers at each end behind the goals for this sort of thing?

[gohardorgohome]

Not a bad idea really.

Back in my paddock footy days I sometimes played at full back and we had a system where I would call left or right to a teammate dropping back so he could block off an opposing Full Forward who had the break on the lead.

When you have no pace you need to work as smart as you can.
